Just an experiment to see what a deck with the chancellors from every color might be able to do. I really like the opening hand effects they have, and having multiples of some, like Chancellor of the Dross (taking some life from opponents and giving it to me) , Chancellor of the Annex (delaying opponents first spells) , Chancellor of the Forge (providing turn one creatures with haste which can also make use of Springleaf Drum ) , can make for some interesting game beginnings. Unfortunately, the mana cost of the Chancellors is quite high so getting them out on the battlefield is the main challenge this deck has stacked against itself. Finding the right balance of mana is also proving difficult, so any help in that regard is greatly appreciated. For now, Birds of Paradise , Memnite + Springleaf Drum or Ornithopter are there to serve as mana sources. An opening hand with Chancellor of the Tangle can help as well, especially with getting out a turn 1 Birds of Paradise . Ensoul Artifact is there to beef up Memnite and Ornithopter to help stall until the chancellors can get out there, and a turn 2 5/5 flyer is not bad to have. It is possible to start getting chancellors out by turn 4 or even by turn 3, although the chances of that happening are pretty low. This deck is definitely not all that competitive, but it can make for some fun and interesting kitchen table matches. However, it can hold its own when it wants to. Comments, +1s, and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
